Tonight is about thanking the troops, for keeping s safe. Of course, the League of Nations makes their way out now. Sheamus cuts off Reigns before he can praise America’s greatness, and says he admires the US, and it may be in the top 20 nations in the world, but not the greatest nation in the world.

Barrett then says he wants spotted dick. Reigns says that this is a family show, and Barrett defends it. Del Rio bashes US TV for being trash, too much stuff about zombies and dragons and hackers. Where is the real football that no one else plays? He then bashes country music. Sheamus then praises Ireland, the food, women, castles and gingers.

Reigns then challenges them to come to the ring to test their theories about Americans, and they will make them pay for talking badly about the red, white and blue. The League heads to the ring, the Wyatts gimmick hits, and now they make their way to the ring. Apparently they hate America as well. This then leads to the Dudleyz making their way out.
